University of North Carolina at Greensboro

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of North Carolina at Greensboro?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at UNCG was $4,422 for North Carolina residents and $20,773 for nonresidents. Required fees added $3,239, bringing tuition and mandatory fees to $7,661 for residents or $24,705 for nonresidents. The residency distinction is therefore a major cost consideration.

Reported typical annual housing and dining charges totaled $11,364, while books and supplies were estimated at $676. Adding those figures to tuition and fees gives approximately $19,701 for a resident or $36,052 for a nonresident, before transportation, personal expenses, and other costs that may appear in a full cost-of-attendance budget. These are 2024-25 figures, not a quotation for a later academic year or a guarantee of what a particular housing and meal-plan choice will cost.

Net price is a different measure: it reflects costs after applicable grant or scholarship aid for the students included in the calculation. The reported average net price was $8,082 for families with annual income up to $48,000 and $16,979 for families earning $75,001-$110,000. An individual aid offer can differ substantially. Students should compare their current, itemized cost-of-attendance estimate with grants and scholarships first, then assess any loans separately because loans must generally be repaid.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of North Carolina at Greensboro?

UNCG students can look for campus jobs, and eligible students may be offered Federal Work-Study as part of financial aid. Work-Study is not an automatic job or a tuition discount: a student generally must qualify through the aid process, secure an eligible position, and earn wages for hours worked. Ordinary student jobs may have different eligibility rules and do not require a Work-Study award.

The FAFSA is the starting point for consideration for federal grants, loans, and Work-Study, as well as aid programs that use federal-aid information. Eligible North Carolina residents may also qualify for state assistance; UNCG offers institutional scholarships under their respective criteria. In reported aid data, 92% of students received some form of financial aid, while 46% had student loans. Those figures describe different kinds of assistance and do not mean that every aid recipient borrowed. Veterans and eligible family members can ask the university's veterans-support staff how military education benefits apply to their enrollment.

For career development, UNCG's career services include counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, employer events, job-search resources, and assistance exploring internships and careers. Those services can help a student pursue experience but are not employment guarantees. A student balancing work and classes should also check whether a prospective job offers hours compatible with labs, clinical placements, or other required coursework.
